『高峰和尙禪要』에 나타난 看話禪의 修行次第 一考

Abstract

Two scholars suggested the problems that Ganhwa Seon practicers didn't opening completely their packages by introductory chapter. and than Chapter Ⅱ Gaofeng Yuanmiao(高峰原妙) and 『Chan-Yao』 was simple introduced with Gaofeng's life. There were traced the three essentials of Ganhwa Seon & the disciplinal Ganhwa Seon process in the chapter Ⅲ. It's displayed the thought of Seon and the disciplinal Seon process in 『Chan-Yao』. The three essentials of Ganhwa Seon(看話三要) were teachings, to become with root of the Gaofeng's thought of Seon, of great faith(大信心)ㆍgreat flare-up emotion(大憤志)ㆍgreat doubt feeling(大疑情) that were necessarily possessed basic mind to practice the Ganhwa Seon. Therefore those were contemplated to be discriminated the three essentials of Ganhwa Seon and between synergic correlation. Thus those were organized the practice process to be discriminated and to be contemplated as criterion that time & practice stage axis from a series of patterns of it many relational practice preachings; Gaofeng's early time practice experiences & feelings, to require several hwadu his disciples to study preachings etc, from place to place of 『Chan-Yao』 in the disciplinal Ganhwa Seon process. Gaogeng proved own being himself at least thoroughgoing practice not only words but through Ganhwa Seon, and thereby he demanded practicer followed him to anyone finding enlightenment. Geofeng said not very simple process if Ganhwa Seon process had diligently doubting hwadu and then doubt feeling(疑情) was manifested and then doubt mass(疑團) was broken so the one great work(一大事) was finished immediately in here and there of 『Chan-Yao』. He preached if push the doubt and more push ahead it so that there is no more go anywhere than is changed direction of current of water become save power stage(省力處) preferably not use force or save effort than there is place that become practice. Therefore he made the point clear handson stage that save power stage(省力處) is become immediately obtained power stage(得力處) and the way of practice doesn't used force and that must keep only doubt mass(疑團) with seeingㆍhearingㆍawakeningㆍcognizingㆍwalkingㆍstandingㆍsittingㆍlying(見聞覺知行住坐臥) by 『Chan-Yao』. Thus you will arrive at enlightenment that you must understand and properly practiced the disciplinal process by preached Geofeng if you want finish the one great work(一大事) and be free births and deaths(生死).
